Abstract
Conservation biology plays a vital role in protecting endangered species and maintaining global biodiversity. Rapid industrialization, urbanization, habitat destruction, climate change, pollution, overexploitation of natural resources, and invasive species have significantly increased the risk of species extinction across the world. This research paper examines the major threats faced by endangered species and evaluates the scientific strategies and conservation interventions used to address these challenges. Habitat protection and restoration, captive breeding, species reintroduction, genetic management, and community participation are identified as key approaches for biodiversity conservation. The importance of monitoring systems, population assessment methods, and data-driven decision-making in developing effective conservation plans. International cooperation, environmental policies, and adaptive management frameworks are essential for achieving long-term conservation success. Furthermore, socio-economic and political barriers, including limited funding, lack of awareness, and weak policy implementation, continue to hinder conservation efforts.
